1940 Ford Custom Pickup Truck LS3 550HP Build Project
Greg Weld wanted to build a truck the average guy could look at and say, “I could build that.” A bit of an ‘everyman’s truck’ that wasn’t flashy or had a bunch of complicated modifications, but one that had scores of details emerge when you started to look closer. And he did.
At first glance the simple gray Ford sits right and looks clean. However, a closer inspection reveals the art of simplicity to be a complex game where things are far nicer than they seem.
For starters, the custom Roadster Shop chassis gives the old truck modern day performance. It was stretched one inch to center the front wheel in the fender and fitted with a DSE steering rack. Coil-over suspensions fore and aft connect to big Wilwood brakes, with a trusty Ford 9-inch rearend on a four-link. The 17- and 18-inch Wheel Vintiques are just the right size without being too flashy.
Greg is not one to leave anything stock when it comes to engines, so his Connect-and-Cruise LS3 crate engine was given to engine builder Don Hardy with the instructions to “jack up the power a little bit.” Don had built the engine in Greg’s blue Brizio-built ’33 Ford and knew exactly what to do. The 480hp mill emerged from his shop with reworked heads, a Holley sheet-metal intake, and a 550hp ticket from the dyno.
It’s a truck for the discerning car guy, and yet durable enough to hold its own on any long-haul adventure. Simple, but very nicely done.
